Portrait of Courtney

Until I moved into my current home, I was at the mercy of whatever light I could get from kitchen windows or overhead lights in my previous homes. I now have a studio with fairly constant overhead florescents that we installed into a room with south, east and west facing windows. I control the window lights with shades. I am currently using my living room for a studio. It is dark and depends on the outside light source. Here is what I mean about light being so important. This is Courtney. One day she was beautiful and then the next day, because it was overcast and grey outside, she grew a mustache and green flesh on her brow between her eyes. I will fix her as soon as I am back into the studio.
